  1. Artists Allison Rasche

  2. Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) • Born in Groot Zundert, the Netherlands on March 30, 1853 • Attended a boarding school in Zevenbergen and King Willem II secondary school, but left his studies for good at age 15. • Committed suicide and died on on July 29, 1890.

  3. First works consisted of dark colors, many of miners and peasants. • Persuaded to use more color, Van Gogh shortly adopted a pointillist style • His most common medium was oil paints “Starry Night”

  4. Vincent was self-taught in the realm of art. He would take books of artists he admired and copy their style. His style is a mesh of many styles, but he does have distinct line in his work. • My opinion: I personally am not too fond of Van Gogh’s work. “Sunflowers”

  5. Alexandra Nechita • Born August 27, 1985 in Romania • Labeled the “Petite Picasso,” Nechita became a famous artist by age eight. • She still continues to create art today. “Alexandra’s Gardener

  6. Nechita started using pen and ink at age 2, then progressed to watercolors, acrylics, and oil paints. • Today she has over 300 paintings, and has works in many galleries. “Angel Dance”

  7. My opinion: Nechita’s work is interesting. The abstract work always inspires creative thought when analyzing. “Captain Nechita”

  8. Umberto Boccioni • Born October 19, 1882 in Reggio, Calabria, Italy • Died August 17, 1916 in Verona while serving the Italian army. “The City Rises”

  9. As a child, Boccioni moved a lot, but settled in Padua in 1888 • In 1897, he moved with his father to Sicily and received a diploma from the Technical Institute in Cantina the following year. • Boccioni became friends with artists Basilici and Severini, and later became a student of Balla, who taught him symbolism and divisionism-two chief influences in Boccioni’s work. “States of Mind: The Farewells”

  10. A Futurist painter and sculptor, Boccioni’s early work consisted of city life. • His work was heavily influenced by cubism as well. • My opinion: I enjoy Boccioni’s sculptures, but not his paintings. “The Unique Forms of Continuity in Space”

  11. Red Grooms • Born in Nashville, TN in June of 1937 • Trained at New School for Social Research, Chicago Art Institute School and the Hans Hofmann School, Provincetown “Fishing Pier”

  12. He is a pop artist • He is best known for his brightly painted wood, metal, fabric, and other media in a wide variety of sizes and scales. • He is a painter, sculptor, printmaker, filmmaker, and showman. • His style is cheerfully satirical and cartoon-like. “By the Shining Sea”

  13. Red Grooms has received many awards for his art, and continues to create works today. • My opinion: Grooms’ work depicts the humorous parts of life, and I find this an enjoyable trait. I also enjoy his use of color. “News Stand”

  14. Fritz Scholder • Born in Breckenridge, Minnesota in 1937 • Graduated from Ashland High School in Wisconsin, attended Wisconsin State University and received a MFA Degree from Tuscan • Died February 10, 2005

  15. Scholder’s art is greatly influenced by his own Indian heritage, and by the Indian artists with whom he studied. • Abstract Expressionism inspired his use of strong images and color. • Pop Art inspired his ideas of clichés and interest in popular culture. • He is a painter, lithographer, and sculptor. “Pueblo Dog”

  16. My opinion: I like Scholder’s work because I can see his heritage in it, and he expresses himself well through his paintings. I also enjoy his use of vibrant colors. “Red Number 1”
